I agree with him, my only issue was how he called out some people that I did not feel warranted it. Such as TD Jakes for having Steve Harvey and was it Aretha? or Patti? at MegaFest---I believe at times that ministers can be given directives from God to help get someone back into church who otherwise would not come--not saying that every other week a secular person should be on the pulpit but Gods job is souls, even backslidden Steve Harvey's, so while I know ministers make mistakes too I cannot necessarily say that I KNOW that to be a mistake as sometimes sinners need a hand extended to them.
My other issue was with him speaking negatively about Christian HipHop which I believe can be a powerful ministry tool and gift. Of course, it can be misused as well (I mean Satan was the minister of music in heaven, so he IS having a field day with music). IMHO, David was a Psalmist and "Christian Rap" are Psalms as well. Psalms are meant for music. IMO, whether you sing "God is great" in an opera voice or while bobbing your head, you are praising and your spirit is edified. I have tested myself (listened to secular rap for a period of time (like a couple hours) and listened to Christian "rap" for a couple of hours and noted a difference in my spirit. I was taken to such a place of worship that I actually ended up turning the music off (turned on CeCe's Alabaster box) and just praying in the spirit. Of course, be discerning about which musicians you purchase...Jessica Simpson too tried to be a Christian artist, though I can't say her heart was entirely into it as she and her minister dad took well to the secular world.
